Alone

Chapter 5

Adrien sighs in relief and smiles at Nino, "Thank you Nino."

Nino smiles back at his best friend, "I know how much she means to you, and I know you don't ever want to leave her."

Adrien nodded as he looks up at the sky with a small frown, "Tha akumas get harder what feels like every month. I'm 18 with a 2 year old daughter. I'm still in school, I'm still a model, and I still have to be a hero for Paris. I have so much in my plate and I don't want to leave Emma to think I don't have time for her or her to think I don't love her."

Nino sighs and looks up at the sky as well, "Your a great dad Adrien. Your staying alive, your grades are great, you don't model so much anymore, and it's our last year of high school. Everything will hopefully become easier after high school."

Adrien nodded and looked at Nino, "Your right. Things will get easier."

Nino took his hat off and ran his fingers threw his short hair before placing it back on his head, "I know, I'm good at advice."

Adrien rolls his eyes and chuckles, "You are, sometimes."

Nino chuckles before looking over at the playground, "Emma hangs out with more boys than girls, huh?"

Adrien turned his attention to his daughter and nodded as he slipped his hands into his front pockets, "Yeah she does, I don't understand why but as long as she's happy I'm fine with it."

Nino looks at Adrien with a smirk and asked, "So... Your not scared some boy will get your princess?"

Adrien quickly turns his attention to Nino, "What!? No! I'm... I'm not like those fathers at all."

Nino chuckled as he pat Adrien's back, "Sure, Mr. Overprotective."

Adrien pouts, "Shut up."

"Okay, okay," Nino looks down at his phone as he felt it vibrate. "Oh, me and Alya have a date, I forgot. Sorry Adrien, see you later."

Adrien nodded, "It's fine, see you."

"Bye," Nino waves at Adrien as he began to walk away.

Adrien watched his best friend walk away, "Bye."

Adrien then walked over to a bench and sat down. He sat back trying to relax but kept an eye on his daughter. He turned his gaze up to the sky.

Emma comes running to Adrien as he exclaims, "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"

Adrien looks at his daughter and smiles. He picks her up and sets her on his lap, "What!? What!? What!?"

Emma smiled at Adrien brightly as she wrapped her arms around his neck, "I met a pretty girl, she's really nice."

Adrien kissed his daughter's nose, "Oh? And what's her name?"

"Clarissa," Emma said.

Adrien nodded, "That's a pretty name."

Emma nodded as well and exclaimed, "I know right!"

Adrien pat his daughters back and smiled, "I'm glad you made a new friend."

"Me too!" Emma exclaimed.

Adrien smiled but it dropped slightly as he saw his daughter had a cut on her knee, "You have a cut on your knee. What happened?"

Emma looked at her knee but then looked at her dad, "This boy pushed me and I fell, but I'm okay, I'm brave and strong! Like you!"

Adrien chuckled and wiggled his eyebrows, "Don't forget good looking."

Emma giggles and nods, "Yes, we are both also very good looking."

Adrien's face soon turned serious and his tone did as well, "But I don't like it, he shouldn't have pushed you."

Emma nodded, "I know, I should have done something."

Adrien nodded as he layed his forehead against her's, "Yes, like come and tell me."

Emma looked at Adrien and nodded, "Your right, I should have."

Adrien sighs and kisses her forehead, "Next time, now, do you want to go home?"

Emma nodded and smiles, "Then we can eat ice cream?"

Adrien nodded as he stood with Emma still in his arms, "When we get home."

Emma nodded, "Daddy?"

Adrien hummed, "Yes?"

"Who's my mommy?" Emma asked.

Adrien's eyes grew wide at her question, "Y-Your mommy?"
